By The Time You Read This, I’ll Be DeadAs the summary on the back of the book states, “Daelyn Rice is broken beyond repair, and after a string of botched suicide attempts, she’s determined to get her death right.” Daelyn was bullied all throughout her life, at each one of the countless schools she was moved to and from by her parents, and couldn’t follow her dream because she was “too big”. Her parents would never understand her struggles, as they were both athletic, fit, and in a perfectly normal mental state. Her mother, Kim, was afraid that Daelyn would embarrass her in public by having a panic attack. While her father, Chip, was clueless about dealing with a hypersensitive, bullied, and assaulted daughter. Daelyn described the way she believed that her parents viewed her with this sentence, “They were embarrassed by me, their sick, fat, psychotic creation.” Each time her parents would say something such as, “We love you” or, “We’re glad you’re here with us,” Daelyn would just get stuck on the fact that they only said those things because the countless doctors and therapists instructed them to do so. The therapists made her parents fill out forms on how Daelyn was acting, if any suspicious things were happening, and if her medication was working. The forms were necessary because after a messy encounter with exsanguination, the 15 year old was officially placed on twenty-four-hour suicide watch.

Quite a while after Daelyn was no longer trusted to be alone due to her suicidal tendencies brought on by bullying and physical assault, a boy started to speak to her every day while she waited to be picked up from school. This very social, quirky, and somewhat “nerdy” boy named Santana then tried to befriend Daelyn. He tried lending her one of his laptops which he called a Mini Me, but that didn’t work. He also tried bringing his pet rat for Daelyn to meet, but she turned out to hate rats. The only reason that Santana’s many attempts to become friends with Daelyn...

...during the early 2nd century AD, possibly as early as the year 105 A.D.,[1] by the Han court eunuch Cai Lun, although the earliest archaeological fragments of paper derive from the 2nd century BC in China.[2]
The modern pulp and paper industry is global, with China leading production and the United States behind it.To make pulp from wood, a chemical pulping process separates lignin from cellulose fibers. This is accomplished by dissolving lignin in a cooking liquor, so that it may be washed from the cellulose fibers. This preserves the length of the cellulose fibers. Paper made from chemical pulps are also known as wood-free papers–not to be confused with tree-free paper. This is because they do not contain lignin, which deteriorates over time. The pulp can also be bleached to produce white paper, but this consumes 5% of the fibers. Chemical pulping processes are not used to make paper made from cotton, which is already 90% cellulose.
The microscopic structure of paper: Micrograph of paper autofluorescing under ultraviolet illumination. The individual fibres in this sample are around 10 µm in diameter.
There are three main chemical pulping processes. The sulfite process dates back to the 1840s, and it was the dominant process before the second world war. The kraft process, invented in the 1870s and first used in the 1890s, is now the most commonly practiced strategy. One advantage...

When I was in third grade I remember my teacher, Mrs. Cindy telling us that by the end of the week she would be choosing someone to be a line leader. I was extremely excited, to me being a leader would be such an honor, and just the word itself sparked a sense of want and all the pleasant words I had then associated with “leader” floated around in my mind like courage, integrity, passion and sincerity. I wanted to be a leader. At that time I had no specific reason as to why; I had just been taught that being a leader was a good thing, not just by my parents but also through socialization and society. However now my mindset is not that of a third grader and words have completely changed their meaning, like leader, I do not want to be a leader anymore. There seems to be more leaders out there with bad intentions than pure ones and each leader we have had and currently have, fall into one of the following categories. There are leaders only in it for profit, for the glory and power, and then finally, to guide people in a right path.
Human Geographers believe that Africa was meant to be the richest continent in the world because of its abundance in high value resources however Africa is a third world country and that is mainly because of the corrupt leaders it has had in the past and now.

...Albert Einstein, born March 14th 1879, in Ulm, Kingdom of Wurttemberg, German Empire, died April 18th 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, USA, is remember as one of the most influential physicists of all time and the father of modern physics. Sir Isaac Newton who produced the Newtonian mechanics influenced Einstein; this led to Einstein’s development of the special theory of relativity. This theory was later expanded to gravitational fields. Einstein is best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (1), this has been dubbed “the worlds most famous equation”(1). He received the Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”(2) That discovery led to establishing the quantum theory within physics. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity (which he published a paper on) to make a model of the universe as a whole. (3) Einstein’s scientific career is extremely extensive; throughout his life he published hundreds of books and articles. (4)(5) He also did multiple collaborations with other scientists including the Bose- Einstein statistics, the Einstein refrigerator and many others. A list of the most major contributions that Einstein had on modern physics:

...﻿You need to manage time effectively if you're going to be successful. Better time management skills can improve your grades, help you keep stress in check, and help you be competitive in the career you undertake following your college or university education. Time management systems often fail because they the expectations of them are too unrealistic. Some people don't start atime management system until they're already falling behind in their work. They take on time management as a way of catching up. They try to cram all of their work into a period of time that is too short. The people who are trying to follow crammed schedules often fall way behind their intended pace and desert the plan altogether, which results in more time trouble.
To be successful in time management you first have to set some goals. It might help to divide your goals into time frames (important goals, mid-term goals, long-range goals) but it is not completely necessary to do so for the exercise to be useful. All you need to do is think of a handful of goals to get started. Once you have a set of goals, it is useful to break down the goals into manageable steps. Breaking down your goals makes it easier to begin them one small step at a time and to reduce...

...are not the only people
that are hiding in the “Secret
Annexe,” the Van Daans live with
them also. Anne draws a map in
the book to show you a layout of
the “Secret Annexe.” It’s pretty
large, although with eight people
living there, it’s quite crowded.
The plot for the story was for
Anne and her family to hide from
the Germans until the war was
over. Hiding was hard for the
Franks and Van Daans since they
had to be extremely quiet when
using things and living in the
“Secret Annexe.” Those families
hid there for 25 months.
The theme for The Diary of Anne
Frank is to never lose hope, be
patient, and be brave. Anne was
very brave to give up her
freedom and contact with
friends and most family members
to save her life. She never lost
hope that the war would end
either. She was also very patient
to share a hiding place with
seven other people.
Anne Frank is the protagonist.
Anne is a fourteen-year-old girl
who likes to talk and writes in
her diary, Kitty, about everything
that goes on around her. She
practices the Jewish faith, and
because of that, she and her
family go into hiding. She is very
courageous and hopeful that the
war will end soon. Anne has no
religious freedom, or freedom
what so ever, no contact with the
outside world, a small living area,
little food, and not much privacy.
Through all this, Anne still
maintained hope and a good
outlook on life.
The antagonists are the Germans.
They want to...

Forethought
Have you ever wondered; why we find the lead story in the farthest upper-right hand column? The answer is Tradition! Newspapers used to appear on newsstands folded with their top right-hand quarter showing, so they made up the front page with the lead story there, to draw in passers-by.

Coming Of Age
Coming of age has different means to everyone, to hit puberty, to become self-dependent, to go from childhood to adulthood, and even simply becoming mature. Veronica Roth (Author of Divergent) takes you on a journey of her coming of age in a more creative way than most. She’s telling her own story in an entertaining and inventive way. Beatrice Prior was born into an Abnegation family full of hidden identities and a dystopian society full of corruption. When she turned sixteen she attended the Choosing Ceremony every sixteen year old must attend to determine what faction (Amity who value peace, Abnegation who value selflessness, Candor who value honesty, Erudite who value knowledge, and Dauntless who value bravery) they want to be in for the rest of their lives. Beatrice figures out that she would never fit in Abnegation because she isn’t selfless and chooses Dauntless marking a large turning point and the beginning of a new portion of her life.
One major event that displays Tris’ coming of age is her obtaining the three raven tattoos. After learning how to fight Albert (Al, Candor transfer, largest of all Dauntless initiates) declares that he wants a tattoo and Will (Erudite transfer, pale and solid), Christina (Candor transfer, tall with long slender legs and a willowy legs), and Tris accompany him. Tris decides to get a tattoo of her own, three ravens on her collar bone using it to signify one for each member...
